Racing career

After getting many good finishes driving part-time for his own team for a few years, he signed with the No. 52 team for Ken Schrader Racing to run his first full season in ARCA in 2016. Also, they picked up sponsorship from Menards (as well as Ansell), which moved over to KSR after sponsoring Frank Kimmel since 2009. They replaced Federated Auto Parts as the team's full season sponsor. [1] That year marked the first time the No. 52 car ran with one driver for the full season for the first time in over three years. Even though he did not win any races, Kurzejewski earned a third-place finish in points.
